In Helldivers 2 there are enemies that are large, armored, and want to destroy you by any means necessary. Especially the Rushers and Acid Titans serve the Terminites well. A new gadget that was introduced with the latest war bond “On the Edge” can temporarily incapacitate even the nastiest enemies.
What is this gadget? With the “On the Edge” war bond, Helldivers 2 received a new grenade, the G-23 Stun Grenade. This is a stun grenade that you can unlock for 25 medals.
If you have equipped the G-23 Stun Grenade and throw it at an enemy, they will be temporarily stunned and thereby incapacitated. However, you cannot kill a bug or robot with a stun grenade; you still need other weapons for that.
Even armored enemies like Rushers and Acid Titans are affected by the stun effect of the new grenades. You can then easily take them out with a simple trick.
Here you can see a trailer for “On the Edge”:

Crush armored enemies with the stun grenade
How can you use the stun grenades in combat? Ideally, you combine the stun grenade with tactical equipment. This way, you can ensure with the stun grenade that your 500-kg bomb hits an enemy who would normally just run out of range.
Alternatively, you can also request blue tactical equipment like backpacks and support weapons and try to crush your enemies with them. You just need to make sure with the stun grenades that they do not move too far from the impact point of your equipment. Use several grenades for this if necessary.
What disadvantage does the grenade have? The G-23 Stun Grenade cannot be used to close nests of the Terminites. For this, you need to carry explosive grenades like the G-6 Fragmentation Grenade or the G-16 Contact Grenade and throw them into the opening of the nest.
So if you want to close nests specifically, you need to make sure to carry an alternative when assembling your equipment. Besides grenades, the grenade launcher and the automatic cannon are also suitable for this – that way, you won’t have to forgo the stun grenade either.
Some players find Elden Ring not difficult enough, so they attempt challenges that make the game even harder. However, one player found his challenge to be too difficult.
What challenge did the player attempt? On Reddit, the user derp3000 posted a message titled “I finally made it to Maliketh in my RL1 run, but at what cost?”
An RL1 run is a playthrough in Elden Ring where the character level (also known as rune level) is not increased. While you can use any other aids, the character must always remain at level 1. In this case, the user attempted the run presumably with an XBOX controller.
The new DLC for Elden Ring “Shadow of the Erdtree” will be released soon; here you can watch the trailer.

The price for the challenge is a new table
Why does he have to pay a price? The Reddit user also shared a picture in the post showing his shattered desk. There is a crater visible that he presumably caused out of anger at the game.
His desk not only has a crater but also has a crack in the middle. The price that derp3000 has to pay for his challenge is a new desk, yet despite it being broken, he continued to play.
In an update under the post, he shares more details. His desk is the “cheapest IKEA desk and, as some of you have already mentioned, is made of quite thin cardboard.” He would complete his playthrough only with melee weapons and would use “no summons, no spells, no parrying, and no ranged attacks.”
In the meantime, he has also defeated the boss Maliketh, as he shares in another update. So, the journey continues with a broken desk.

What does the community say about him? The Elden Ring community has mixed reactions to the picture. Vestele1 writes on Reddit: “Maybe challenge runs aren’t for you.”
To this, the creator of the Reddit post responds: “I appreciate the concern expressed here in the comments. Believe it or not, I don’t have severe anger issues in my life, as some of you claim. This is also not being posted out of ‘pride’ as commented. It is more a kind of self-irony; I find it somewhat humorous. I see that some of you do not, and that’s okay.”
bakeliterespecter takes it humorously on Reddit: “Respect the zeal. Completely destroy the desk by the end of the run and burn the ashes as a sacrifice to the outer god of your choice. The naysayers in the comments can be sent back to the putrid depths of the nerd tree.”
Officially, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is set to release on March 22, 2024, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series, but players have already gotten their hands on physical versions of the new Capcom role-playing game before that. Annoying side effect: Some leaks and spoilers are already circulating on the internet.
What is the problem? Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a single-player role-playing game that is heavily focused on the story experience. You can expect well-staged in-game sequences, dramatic twists, and even different endings.
So, if you want the best possible gaming experience, you should start your adventure with as little prior knowledge of the story as possible. It’s not so easy when the internet is full of leaks and spoilers.
On Steam, it starts on March 22, 2024, at 01:00 AM.
On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, you can start as early as midnight from Thursday to Friday.
Additionally, all content creators who received early access from Capcom for their reporting had to sign a confidentiality agreement. We and others are only allowed to publish tests, videos, streams, and guides based on our own gaming experience once certain embargo dates have passed.
This trailer gets you more hyped for the release of Dragon’s Dogma 2 than any leak:

However, the physical version of Dragon’s Dogma 2 was already available in some retail outlets days ago, allowing various players to experience the role-playing game well before its release (they may have had to adjust the time zone on their console).
Capcom officials are evidently making efforts to have all unwanted posts and streams removed promptly, but you should surf the web cautiously in the coming days if you don’t want to be spoiled.
Where is the greatest danger? According to Kotaku, there are some streamers who have tailored their channels to circulate leaks of new games as early as possible. The article unfortunately does not reveal which games they are in detail. You can also easily stumble upon leaks on platforms like X and Reddit.
How does MeinMMO handle leaks? In this article, you will not find any details about the already published leaks regarding Dragon’s Dogma 2. We won’t cover spoilers in our preview report, which will be published online soon.
We will go into detail primarily in our guides, such as when it comes to unlocking alternative endings. However, we also won’t include spoilers in the headline or cover image, so you can decide in advance whether you want to know the respective information or not.
A research team claims to have doubled the performance of a computer. They utilize a new technique. The advantage is that it does not require any new hardware.However, it may still take some time before this technique is available on our systems.
Researchers from the University of California, Riverside, claim that they would be able to double the performance of any modern PC. The twist here: This all works without a prior hardware upgrade.
The research team presented their findings and described a new system called “simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading” (SHMT). The technical essay can be found online at dl.amc.org.
New technology aims to accelerate processes and thereby improve performance
Modern computers currently consist of several processors. These include the CPU, the graphics processor of the graphics card, or the processing cores responsible for machine learning (TPU).
Since different parts of the PC are responsible for executing different workloads through instructions, bottlenecks and latency occur between the data. The data must be transferred between the processors, and that takes time and thus reduces performance.
What exactly does SHMT do here? SHMT aims to solve the problem by allowing the simultaneous execution of a single task through multiple processes. This not only reduces the workload per processor but also accelerates the efficiency of the task and consumes less energy.
The researchers’ results are impressive:
The team found that the integration of SHMT into various test systems led to a processing speed increase of up to 1.95 times.
Additionally, the energy consumption of the test system decreased by almost 51%.
By the way, an Edge TPU is used. An Edge TPU is a chip specifically designed by Google to use AI on edge devices.
When will the technology be available? According to the team, current devices need to undergo a quality test. This will determine if there are incompatible processor architectures or components. Therefore, it is still unclear when we will benefit from this technology. However, the initial results are said to look promising.
By the way, the most powerful PC in the world is being built in Germany. A new supercomputer is being constructed in Jülich. It is supposed to be faster than all other systems. In the future, it will be mainly used for AI training:
In April, the Community Day Classic featuring Pokémon GO will take place with Kinderwurm. What to expect there and who it is worth attending for.
What kind of event is this? The Community Day Classic is an event that closely resembles the regular Community Day. There is a Pokémon that is the focus, appearing almost everywhere in the wild for a period of 3 hours. The chance to encounter a Shiny version is also significantly increased during this time.
While the regular Community Day always features a new Pokémon, the Community Day Classic highlights a Pokémon that has already appeared in a regular Community Day. After recent hints about the next Community Day Classic, it has now been confirmed.
What kind of Pokémon is this? Kinderwurm, a Dragon-type Pokémon from Generation 3, will be the star of the Community Day Classic in April 2024.
When is the event? The Community Day Classic featuring Kinderwurm will take place on Sunday, April 7th, 2024, from 14:00 to 17:00.

What bonuses does the Community Day Classic with Kinderwurm bring?
While the event is running, the following bonuses will be available in the game for you.
Kinderwurm appears everywhere in the wild
The Shiny rate for Kinderwurm is significantly increased
If you evolve Brutalanda, the final evolution of Kinderwurm, during the event, it will learn the charged move Wutanfall
Triple experience points for catching Pokémon

Who should attend the Community Day Classic with Kinderwurm?
For fighters: Brutalanda, the final evolution of Kinderwurm, is one of the strongest Dragon-type attackers in Pokémon GO. So if you are still looking for strong additions to your Dragon attackers, the Community Day may be worth it for you, as you can catch many Kinderwurm and gather a large amount of candy for the Pokémon.
The exclusive charged move Wutanfall, which Brutalanda can learn during evolution in the event, is also the best charged move Brutalanda has as a Dragon attacker.
Interestingly, the Shadow version of the Pokémon is even stronger than the normal version of Brutalanda. You can currently find it with one of the Rocket bosses and collect the corresponding candies during the Community Day.
In terms of battle leagues, Kinderwurm and its evolutions are less worthwhile. They should not be used in either the Great and Ultra Leagues or in the Master League.
For collectors: If you haven’t been able to catch Kinderwurm and its evolutions in your Pokédex yet, this event is the perfect opportunity to do so. Even if you are still missing the Shiny variants, you should be able to catch them quite easily at the event.
For leveling up: If you are currently gathering experience points in Pokémon GO, the event may also be worth it for you. With the combination of triple experience points for catching Pokémon and the large number of Kinderwurm appearing during the event, you can quickly accumulate many experience points.
What do you think about the Community Day Classic with Kinderwurm? Are you looking forward to it and will you participate, or do you have no interest in this Pokémon? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers. We also have an overview of the events in March 2024 in Pokémon GO available for you.

Pedro Pascal is currently one of the most famous actors. However, he also started small and his acting career did not begin directly with big hits. A teen series about vampires was an important start for him in the world of film and series.
In recent years, Pedro Pascal has been constantly in the spotlight. As the lead actor in The Mandalorian and in The Last of Us, he has appeared in the biggest series of the last few years and is also active in the film world.
Recently, he was cast as Reed Richards for the upcoming Fantastic Four film, and The Mandalorian is finally getting a movie. But he didn’t start as a big star, facing challenges with jobs and his career. The real kickstart for him was a teen vampire series at the end of the 90s.

I had less than 7 dollars
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight the actor spoke about his beginnings. His starting phase lasted 15 years, and due to the little money he had problems with doctor visits and paying his rent. It’s all tough when you have less than 7 dollars.
But around 1999 he had a role in Buffy – In the Grip of the Demons, which brought him a little money. In the interview, he even says:
The money from Buffy – In the Grip of the Demons showed up and saved my day and is literally the reason why I was able to stay in it and not give up.
After Buffy, he played smaller roles in series like Law and Order or CSI: Vegas. However, in 2014 he appeared in the series Game of Thrones for 7 episodes. In another interview with Vanity Fair Pedro Pascal spoke about how Game of Thrones changed his life, and that he wouldn’t have Narcos, The Mandalorian, or The Last of Us without the show.
Right now, a fierce battle is raging on Egghead Island in One Piece. Ruffy must face powerful opponents, and fans are hoping that a great secret will soon be revealed. However, it could be that we have to wait for the resolution of this secret and the exciting battles. The Manga is going on a break.
When is the break? The current chapters of the One Piece manga are released weekly in the Shonen Jump magazine. However, the people responsible recently announced that the manga will be on break for 3 weeks.

On social media, they explained that with the 18th issue of the magazine, the last chapter for now will be released. The subsequent chapter is expected to return in issue 21. After that, there will be a short break again because Golden Week begins in Japan. During this week, there are 4 public holidays, which is why most employees take time off.
The release schedule for the upcoming weeks is as follows:
March 25: Chapter 1111
April 1: Break
April 8: Break
April 15: Break
April 22: Chapter 1112
April 29: Chapter 1113
May 6: Break (Golden Week)
The anime is currently also set on Egghead Island. The airing of new episodes is independent of the manga’s release schedule, so there will be no break here.

“The biggest cliffhanger before the break”
What kind of cliffhanger is there? Dr. Vegapunk has been trying to share something with the whole world in One Piece since chapter 1108. He wants to reveal the truth about the world. As a scientist for the government, he possesses special knowledge that is actually not meant for the general public. This secret is likely one of the biggest secrets of the manga.
However, Dr. Vegapunk is waiting another 10 minutes so that people can prepare to follow his transmission. But these 10 minutes drag on until the latest chapter. So it could be that Dr. Vegapunk won’t have the chance to reveal this big secret even in chapter 1111.
Fans are therefore concerned that there could be the “probably biggest cliffhanger before the break” (via Twitter). Thus, Dr. Vegapunk may only get the chance to reveal this important message to the world in chapter 1112.
Alternatively, he may need to take time off for the Netflix series of One Piece. Filming for the second season is reportedly set to begin soon (via reddit). Oda was involved in the first season, so it could be that he needs another break for the second season to contribute to the design of the series.
Only after that can he take the time again for the One Piece manga.
The great MMO shooter The Division 2 is now already five years old. Now we get a little insight into statistics and the prospect of a new DLC.
For the 5th anniversary of The Division 2, the MMO shooter announced some statistics from the past years and at the same time promised that it is far from over.
In a short video, Ubisoft provides a little retrospective on various content and development steps from the past years:

The Division 2 celebrates with you 5th anniversary
What has happened in the last 5 years? In March 2019, The Division 2 was released and started in Washington D.C., as the video reminds players again. Since then, a lot has happened, and here are some content and locations that have been added to the game. Additionally, a few important development milestones are mentioned.
For each year, the video provides a few points that describe the journey of The Division 2. For example, that the first raid with 8 players took place in year 1 during the “Dark Hours” operation. In the fourth year, Ubisoft Bucharest joined the development team.
In addition, Ubisoft published some interesting statistics. There were:
8 million created clans
110 million heroic deaths
60 million legendary deaths
2 million completed countdowns
The 100th floor in Punktowiec has been completed 54 million times
13 million items have been “pulled” from the Dark Zone.
One billion items have already been dropped/picked up
In another video, the developers themselves talk about their journey with The Division 2 and state that they do not see the success solely within themselves. They mainly say that it would not work without the vibrant and open community.

The Luxembourgish Twitch-streamer LetsHugo had a successful stay in Madeira, producing content daily and generating considerable income. You can find out how much he earned just from advertising in one week on MeinMMO.
With nearly a million followers on Twitch and an ever-growing fanbase, the Luxembourgish streamer LetsHugo has firmly established himself in the German streaming scene. Known for his humorous and somewhat scatterbrained style, he regularly captivates thousands of viewers.
What makes LetsHugo so special? After dropping out of school after the 9th grade to fully dedicate himself to streaming, LetsHugo initially started with a small audience of 10 viewers on average.
However, through regular streaming, especially of games like Minecraft and Just Chatting, his community grew rapidly. By October 2022, he had already reached a consistent viewership of several hundred people.
He dropped out of school because streaming was more important to him – The success of LetsHugo
Almost €3,000 in just one week from advertising
How much did Hugo earn on his last trip? Recently, LetsHugo spent a week in Madeira, which, according to his statements, was costly, but it paid off for him in terms of content production. He took his viewers live along on Twitch every day and generated significant income.
In total, he earned €5,393.32 on Twitch alone during this week from March 2nd to March 9th. Together with the income generated from the resulting YouTube videos, these earnings covered the costs of the trip, according to his statement.
How much did he earn from advertising? The earnings from advertising during his stay in Madeira were impressive. On the very first day, he earned €500, followed by €300 on the second day. On the third day, the earnings rose back to €500, followed by €700 on the fourth day.
Although advertising revenue declined slightly on the following days – €50 on the fifth day and €210 on the sixth day – he achieved significant earnings of €700 again on the last day just from advertising. In total, his advertising revenue during that week amounted to nearly €3,000.
However, LetsHugo himself emphasizes that this week was particularly strong. Since he usually primarily conducts gaming and Just Chatting streams, the IRL streams where he guided his viewers live on the island were a special highlight.
You can see the corresponding stream excerpt here:
What does LetsHugo say about it? According to his statement, he recorded three times as many viewers as usual. According to Twitchtracker, he streamed a total of 41 hours during that week and had an average of 5,000 viewers.
Comparing this with the previous week from February 24th to March 2nd, in which he streamed for 37 hours and had almost 4,000 viewers on average, LetsHugo’s statement is not entirely accurate.
His viewers also noticed this and pointed it out to him, after which he checked the numbers and realized for himself how successful he actually is.
What is problematic about this? LetsHugo has always shown difficulty in assessing sums of money and understanding his success. After dropping out of school after the 9th grade to focus directly on Twitch, he has never worked for an employer and thus never earned a fixed income.
LetsHugo commented on this, saying: “Well-paid, yeah yeah, €10 an hour. Oh, wait, that’s actually well paid. Hold on, is it? I’m not really sure.” He didn’t seem very certain about what amount is typically considered a good income.
LetsHugo reacted casually and stated that this is the amount he earns with a single stream. Even though it’s hard to be sure how seriously the streamer means some statements, it still gives the impression of a lack of experience and a limited understanding of financial matters.
The Monolith of Fate is an endgame activity in Last Epoch. Here on MeinMMO, you will find out where to find this activity and how to increase the corruption to get better loot.
After the campaign, around level 50, the endgame in Last Epoch begins. Even within the campaign, you will reach the map section “End of Time” with the same-named waypoint on the main island. There you will also find the “Monolith of Fate” with a starting level of 58.
The “Monolith of Fate” is the starting point for a part of the endgame in Last Epoch with its timelines. Starting with the timelines is certainly a good choice to get into the endgame content with your character.
The Monolith offers various mechanics and rewards:
the timelines consist of small “islands” (echoes) that provide you with specific loot, which you can recognize by a symbol on the echo on the map – such as daggers, idols, keys, or bows.
with “corruption,” you increase the level and thus the difficulty, but also the rewards of the timelines. This is especially worthwhile on the “empowered timelines.”
Your faction also plays an important role in the endgame of Last Epoch:
Start video
Last Epoch: Faction of the Merchant Guild or Circle of Fate – These are the advantages
How to gather Corruption
What is Corruption? Corruption is a mechanic in the Monolith of Fate to increase the level of timelines. This also grants you more XP and better loot. To collect and increase corruption, you must perform another activity within the timeline.
How do I collect corruption? The further you are from the start of the timeline, the more likely you are to see a so-called “Shadow of Orobyss.” This echo in the timeline looks different from the others.
While other echo bosses can only be fought at increased stability, the Shadow of Orobyss can appear anywhere in the timeline. If you kill the boss, the corruption increases and the network of the timeline resets – only do this if you do not wish to complete any more echoes on the current network. The stability and modifications of the timeline remain.
In regular timelines, the maximum corruption is capped at 50, while in empowered timelines, it starts at 100 and is unlimited. You unlock empowered timelines by completing the first three timelines at level 90.
In empowered timelines, the chance for rarer loot is increased even further. Once you reach these timelines, you can continuously increase the corruption and improve your drop chances. However, keep in mind that the enemies also become stronger and tougher.
Can I also reduce corruption? If the echoes become too difficult for you and you want to reduce the corruption, you can do so at the echo near the starting point of your timeline. There you will find a new echo with increased corruption, where you can reset the timeline and reduce the corruption.
Farming loot at increased corruption is particularly worthwhile
How does corruption affect the loot? By increasing corruption, you increase the chance for better loot, including unique and set drops. So if an echo with the Shadow of Orobyss appears in your timeline, it is definitely worthwhile to kill the boss.
In empowered timelines, increasing the corruption is even more beneficial, as it increases the chance for rarer loot drops. Furthermore, echoes with high corruption will be more likely to yield unique and exalted items. Exalted items are the purple gear that you need for crafting legendaries.
In empowered timelines, you receive the stronger form of blessings, and the bosses there drop certain uniques. Moreover, the “Shadow of Orobyss” drops certain uniques that require a certain amount of corruption in the empowered timelines.
How do I specifically farm for loot? In the timelines of the Monolith, you will find echoes with specific item drops. Thus, you can target your farming for loot – a player has created a map for this. Warning: However, if you die in an echo or leave it prematurely, you will not receive any echo rewards.
Additionally, the item factions in Last Epoch are a good way to farm for specific loot. In the Circle of Fate, you use prophecies for this purpose. At the observatory, you will see in the telescopes the prophecies that display various constellations. Each image belongs to an item group.
Final Fantasy XIV is set to release on XBOX soon. The developers are now explaining how the subscription purchase will work, causing some frustration among players.
Why do we have to go through all this trouble? Final Fantasy XIV is expected to launch on XBOX on March 21, 2024. Recently, the developers announced how XBOX players can purchase the subscription and what is required to play the MMORPG on the console.
To play Final Fantasy XIV on XBOX, you first need to buy the game. Then, you need the XBOX Gamepass (or XBOX Live) in a form that allows online play on the console.
After that, you need to purchase the new “FFXIV Coins” currency as a microtransaction on XBOX. You will use this to pay for your monthly subscription for the game. However, if you subscribe on a different platform, you do not necessarily need the coins.
However, the new “FFXIV Coins” currency is not intended to replace the regular “Crystal” currency that can already be purchased for real money.
You can watch the trailer for the expansion Dawntrail here.

Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail – The Final Trailer
The Community Thinks It’s Really Bad
How is the community reacting to the announcement? As expected, the community is not pleased that, in addition to the two subscriptions, they now also have to exchange their money before paying.
On X (formerly Twitter) user @perchbird_ posted a comment with a screenshot of the announcement. He wrote: “It’s so funny that we’ve been asking SE for 10 years to simplify account management and billing, and instead of doing that, they’ve made it even more complicated for no reason.”
@illumi_x3 responds on X below: “I’m pretty sure this is Microsoft’s way of getting their cut while SE gets their share for subscriptions. As far as I remember, the issue of FF14 not being on XBOX was that they wanted their own servers or that users should pay for Live while also paying for their subscription for 14.”
@xcx_loona questions on X, doubting it’s Microsoft’s fault: “It’s really funny how everyone is quick to blame Microsoft exclusively, and for no reason. The billing system will always be garbage, and the player base will love it.”
Shinichi writes in the comments on MeinMMO: “As long as players have to cover both the Gamepass and the FFXIV subscription on XBOX unlike on Playstation, the game unfortunately remains an option for me (20 € per month). I really find it unfortunate because I would have loved to play it on XBOX, but this greed is really unacceptable. […]”
You can challenge a whole range of dungeons in Palworld. There you will face mazes, hordes of enemies, and useful items. We have the overview for you here.
[toc]
What are dungeons in Palworld? Dungeons are sections that are separated from the open overworld, bringing you into specific, more dangerous environments. To enter them, you need to find the corresponding entrance. Usually, these are black, door-shaped holes in rock walls or rock formations.
The layout of the dungeons varies. However, you can often expect a series of larger round areas connected by narrow passages. There are often different paths to the goal.
Most of the Pals that you will encounter are Mau, Daedream, and Fuddler. Depending on the region, specific additional Pals may also spawn.

Palworld: How you can level up quickly
What is the goal in a dungeon? When facing a dungeon, your goal is the boss of the dungeon. Sometimes the bosses spawn right in front of you in the entrance area, but mostly they appear further back in the maze. These bosses are stronger versions of the Pals living in your current region. There are special rewards for defeating these foes.
Attention: Dungeon bosses are Pals and have nothing to do with the overworld bosses, and they are also not the Alpha bosses that spawn freely in the world.
What items can you obtain in dungeons? On one hand, you can catch dungeon-exclusive Pals. But there are also items:

“Sons of the Forest” not only captivates players worldwide, but also the Twitch streamer Gronkh. With its gripping survival experience and compelling story, you can currently snag this gem on Steam for only 21.74 Euro.
What does Gronkh have to do with Sons of the Forest? The famous Twitch streamer Gronkh already celebrated incredible successes on YouTube with the first part “The Forest”. His distinctive moments, such as the battle cry “Survival” and encounters with mutants that he affectionately named Muschi-Klaus and Galoppel-Heinz, have remained in the memory of many fans. Together with the creator Tobinator, Gronkh experienced many exciting adventures in the survival title.
In the sequel “Sons of The Forest”, the Twitch figure was once again fully involved. With an average of almost 33,000 viewers (via Twitchtracker) on the streaming platform, he once again made history together with Virginia and Kelvin. But what makes this game special?

Particularly exciting for fans should be the new selectable ending, which we cannot discuss further for spoiler reasons, as well as the appearance of an old acquaintance in the game: Timmy, the little boy from the first part “The Forest”.
This will particularly please Gronkh and Tobinator, as they had adopted Timmy together in the first part. If the two streamers hopefully play “Sons of The Forest” together later this year, the meeting with their virtual son will surely be heartwarming again (at least from laughter).

Strongholds have been one of the major features since the release of Diablo 4 that were meant to make the game special. Now players are saying: There’s more that can be done – and they are gathering suggestions.
The feature was one of the major innovations announced at the release of Diablo 4 that was supposed to set the game apart from its predecessors.
So far, strongholds can only be completed once per character. After that, they are ‘finished’, you have freed the area and never need to take it back. According to players, this is wasted potential.
What makes strongholds so good: The feature has been well received since release, offering some variety to the constant grind in dungeons or vaults. Strongholds, according to players, enliven the world and make it feel more real.
Players especially praise that each stronghold has some different story, a mechanic, or something that sets it apart from others. It’s content that stays in memory. On Reddit, a fan writes:
In my opinion, every single stronghold I’ve captured is absolutely fantastic. From the one where the entire population was turned to salt […] to the one full of vampires and blood knights […] I enjoyed every one of these contained stories and themes.
Even today, strongholds are still a topic of discussion. One user even writes: Strongholds are what he looks forward to the most in every season. Early on, the consensus was: Strongholds are good content, but simply too rare.
Such threads have appeared repeatedly over the months, often with the dull aftertaste that there could be more possible. In a recent discussion, players are now gathering potential solutions.
Here you can see a run through one of the strongholds at a low level:

“Revamp Strongholds into Multiplayer Raids”
In the past, there have been ideas on how to improve strongholds. However, these were often rather simple suggestions, such as simply resetting the strongholds weekly – similar to the new leaderboard dungeons now.
One user now claims that strongholds are wasted potential. He receives numerous comments with new ideas (via Reddit). In over 170 comments, players have come up with thoughts such as:
Strongholds as multiplayer raids: Once completed, you should be able to do them again in a group and on various difficulties
Defensive events to defend the captured strongholds against the “original” inhabitants
A connection with hell tides, which are designed to constantly attack various things, could create a new event in the tide
Merchants who only appear in liberated strongholds and sell particularly rare items
All of the suggestions are well received, but there has been no response from Blizzard yet. We have directly asked the developers whether there are any plans for a revamp, but a response is still pending.
Currently, Blizzard is working on Season 4 for the game as well as the first expansion, Vessel of Hatred. There aren’t too many details on either yet, and specific dates are also missing. However, there are already several plans for the time afterwards. We have already been able to speak with the devs about the future: Diablo 4: “The community is the most important asset” – Blizzard talks to us about development and future

The Oscars are the big award of the film industry, awarded every year. The last 4 films of a legendary director have been nominated a total of 26 times. With this, Martin Scorsese holds a sad record.
Martin Scorsese is a name that many people know. After all, he has directed some of the best films of all time. Be it The Departed, Shutter Island, or The Wolf of Wallstreet. Despite his great career, the director received fewer Oscars than one would think.
His last 4 films were nominated a total of 26 times for Oscars. But sadly, the films received not a single one. With this, Martin Scorsese has a sad record, as he is the first director to receive no Oscars at 26 nominations. And this, although many of the films were considered favorites.
One of the 4 films was Killers of the Flower Moon:

Sad Oscar Records
Martin Scorsese’s last 4 films were Silence, The Irishman, The Wolf of Wallstreet, and Killers of the Flower Moon. Particularly the last two were considered favorites. The Irishman and Killers of the Flower Moon were each nominated 10 times. Among the 4 films, even the major awards were included:
3 of the 4 films were nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor
2 times the films were nominated for Best Actor
Technical aspects such as Production Design, Editing, or Cinematography were also nominated 2 times
Besides the record of receiving no Oscars at 26 nominations, Scorsese also holds another record. 3 of his films (Killers of the Flower Moon, The Irishman, and Gangs of New York) have received 10 nominations and not a single award at the Oscars.
The only Oscar he has received for directing was for The Departed in 2006.
The Oscars are of course not the only award in the film industry. Scorsese has received several BAFTA Awards and awards in Cannes. He has also received Golden Globes and other awards for several of his films. Aside from the Oscars, he is considered one of the best directors of all time in the film industry, especially known for shaping the mafia genre. The Departed is also included, the story of which was actually planned differently: Warner Bros. wanted to make more out of a gangster film, but the director let the main characters die

Two major MMORPGs from Asia are announced for the year 2024, which should be brought to Europe by Amazon, on PS5, Xbox Series X, and to Steam: Throne and Liberty from South Korea and Blue Protocol from Japan. Both have already launched in Asia and both have their global release date set for 2024. But for months there has been nothing. What is the status?
When was the last news about Blue Protocol? The MMORPG Blue Protocol had its last official news on Amazon’s western website on November 13, 2023. At that time, Amazon thanked for the completion of the technical test.
The next time the servers open, they look forward to hosting an even larger event that brings new updates from the Japanese server.
That was 5 months ago.
Since then, there has been no word from Amazon regarding Blue Protocol, and social media channels are silent.

When was the last news about Throne and Liberty? Here it’s been even longer. The last official news also concerned a technical test in October 2023. The head of the game at Amazon, Merv Lee Kwai, thanked the participants, published statistics, and expressed his eagerness to welcome players back soon.
That was 6 months ago. Similarly, the social media channels are silent here as well.
However, it is by no means that the games are dead and nothing is happening. Reports about the MMORPGs regularly reach us from their home countries in Asia, even if they don’t sound very encouraging:
Why is this unusual? Normally, one would expect that even if there is nothing to report, signs of life, called “beats”, would appear on websites and social media channels at regular intervals to slowly build the hype, but nothing is coming in that direction.
It is actually not planned to halt an advertising campaign for a game once it has been started.
Circumstances in 2024 are significantly less rosy than a few years ago
What could be the reason? Both Throne and Liberty and Blue Protocol are not performing as well as expected in their home countries. Additionally, there seem to be issues with the implementation:
Furthermore, the gaming industry is currently in a completely different state than a few years ago when Amazon secured these deals, and the games no longer appear as attractive as they once did.
In November 2023, Amazon also had to lay off 180 employees. However, this is not supposed to have any impact on the MMORPGs; on the contrary, they should now receive more attention.
However, 4 months after the wave of layoffs, there is no sign of that.
Nevertheless, the release for both MMORPGs is still set for 2024. Even though the dates have already been postponed several times:
A student from Bavaria skips school for 2 months. She is only discovered when the principal checks the doctor’s certificates. The whole story could still have serious consequences for the student.
A 14-year-old student did not want to attend school. She tricked the school and her mother and went unnoticed for almost two months without attending school. And that thanks to a fake email address and forged certificates.
In particular, the forged certificates are likely to become a real problem for the 14-year-old.
2 months of “school-free” with forged certificates and fake email
What exactly did the student do?
The student created a fake email address in her teacher’s name. She pretended to be the teacher and wrote to her mother that the school would remain closed.
In the school app, the student pretended to be her own mother. Here she wrote that her daughter was sick.
She then repeatedly sent the school administration a doctor’s certificate from the doctor. This was supposed to confirm her illness so that no one would become suspicious.
How did it end? The principal became suspicious and called the student’s doctor’s practice. Eventually, the principal noticed: The date on the certificate had been changed.
During the phone call, it emerged that the student had forged the certificates. She was never actually sick. She simply did not attend school for two months. The whole matter was probably not noticed at first because the student had recently changed schools.
The whole action is likely to have consequences for the student. Forging certificates is considered forgery, and that is a criminal offense: it is punishable by up to 5 years in prison or a fine.
Other people also use “nasty” tricks to gain advantages. For example, someone used the ChatGPT chatbot to eat for free at a fast-food chain for a year. Whether he was punished for it is not known:
The Steam Spring Sale is currently in full swing. Here you can snag many game gems at a low price. Among them is the seemingly inconspicuous Brotato, which has sparked the love for a whole genre in MeinMMO author Linda Baumgartl.
When I first caught a glimpse of Brotato somewhere in my timeline, I honestly wasn’t very convinced. I get to play a potato running around with 6 weapons? And I can’t even attack myself? That sounded a bit too silly to me.
So, during a Steam sale, I quickly added Brotato to my cart to see for myself, and I haven’t regretted it for a second.

Brotato – Early Access Trailer
The Game Principle: As Simple as It Is Genius
In Brotato, you play a battle-hungry potato fighting through large hordes of alien enemies. In each run, you must survive 20 waves of enemies to win the game.
To achieve that, after each enemy wave, you can buy weapons and other useful items in a shop. Additionally, you gain experience with which you can further improve your character.
What are the battles like? In combat itself, you mainly have to do one thing: run. Because your weapons, of which you can carry a total of 6, attack automatically. So you dodge enemies, collect materials (the currency), crates with items, or healing items, and try not to die in the process.
Fleeing from a large horde of enemies.The shop after the first wave.
What do I like? The following aspects among others have ensured that Brotato was able to capture my heart after initial skepticism.
Easy to learn, hard to master: The basic aspects are quickly understood, and you can start slashing right away. However, if you want, you can also dive deep into the swamp of optimal builds and strategies.
Luck factor: You don’t always get the items you need at the moment. This draws you into the classic spiral: “Just one more attempt. Next time I will definitely have better luck.”
Good for a quick round: Rounds usually last about 30 minutes. Additionally, the game saves after each enemy wave.
An Incredible Variety of Characters
For me, the greatest strength of Brotato is the many different characters. Currently, there are 44 of them. Before each game, you choose one of these characters, which significantly determines the direction your build will take this time. Each character has its own strengths and weaknesses, thus promoting a different play style.
Due to this variety, even after nearly 100 hours I have spent with the game, I am still motivated to try out and perfect new builds.
Moreover, many characters and items also have to be unlocked first. This adds additional motivation.
What characters are there? Of course, there are classic classes, such as a pistol expert, a magician, or a brawler. Some more specialized characters are, for example:
Chunky: Damage scales with maximum health, but is very slow and has poor defense.
Pacifist: Receives materials for each living enemy at the end of a wave, deals little damage.
Weapon Dealer: Weapons cost 95% less, but all purchased weapons are destroyed after each wave.
Conclusion? Don’t be deceived by the visuals, Brotato is a really great game. After my first hours of gameplay, I was so excited that I developed a full-blown obsession for the genre.
No matter whether you want to call them shooter-roguelike, reverse bullet hell, or vampire-survivors-like. Anyone who enjoys fighting hordes of enemies and tinkering with character builds should definitely check this out.
Destiny 2 lets you fight in the last city in “Into the Light” and fend off waves of enemies. Bungie has revealed this about the new mode.
In Destiny 2, there will be a free update before the release of the last major expansion “The Final Shape”. Bungie will present the update in three livestreams. The first livestream took place on March 19, 2024, and focused on a new mode called Onslaught.
Destiny 2 receives a horde mode with up to 50 waves
What kind of mode is this? The new mode is called Onslaught and will be a horde mode. This means you have to defend a specific point, a kind of generator, and stay alive. Meanwhile, waves of enemies will attack you one after another.
In the normal version, you can expect just ten waves, but in the “Challenge” version of the mode, you will have to deal with up to 50 waves. This version is further divided into the difficulty levels “Standard” and “Hard”.
The strength of the enemies also increases with every wave, and the location of the generator changes as well. The types of enemies vary too. During the developer stream, for example, the Guardians fought against Fallen first, then against the Hive.
Among the various enemy types you will have to fight within the 50 waves are also Champions and Boss enemies. So you definitely need to bring a suitable build to succeed in the challenge.
Unfortunately, there is still no gameplay video for “Onslaught”, but you can pass the time with the trailer for The Final Shape.

Guardians can place turrets and traps
What makes the mode stand out in gameplay? In Onslaught, you can of course look forward to the classic Destiny gameplay. To adequately defend a position, there will be turrets and a kind of tripwire trap. However, you will have to “buy” these again if they are destroyed by enemies.
As you survive the waves and take down enemies, you will collect scrap. With this scrap, you can buy and place the aforementioned traps and turrets within the mode. Additionally, you can upgrade them to higher levels during the waves so they can withstand stronger enemies.
During the first waves, you can also easily revive your defeated teammates. However, in Challenge Mode, you will eventually reach a point where a return is not possible.
What about the loot? Within the mode, there will be chests that spit out loot every ten waves. However, the developers did not want to reveal exactly what this loot will look like. More information will be available in the next livestream.
What do we know about the maps? In the developer livestream, Onslaught was played in the last city. The map was a modified version of the PvP map “Downtown”.
However, the developers also announced during the stream that there will be multiple maps on which you can play Onslaught. Which ones exactly are included is also unclear.
